 can pull it off as a yacht rock look with a double-breasted suit and white dress shirt, we all can't be so lucky. This watch isn't just heavy, it's BIG – 44mm x 17.7mm of nearly solid gold swagger (swagger I definitely don't have). Those are the same dimensions as the Oystersteel-cased Deepsea ref. 136660 that was released in 2022. But this watch is an entirely new ballgame in so many ways. 

It has a 5.5mm crystal and a helium escape value, and even with all that, the new Deepsea now has a blue lacquer dial to match the blue Cerachrom bezel unidirectional dive bezel with yellow gold numerals and accents. Oh, and there's no "Sea-Dweller" on this watch. Instead, the dial boldly proclaims "Deepsea" in gold text, which is where a watch this heavy would drag you if you're not careful. To borrow one of my favorite Ben-isms (something he says whenever we've seen or heard about a watch that's so crazy, ridiculous, or unexpected that it's hard to understand), "What are we even talking about anymore?"
